About the Role

As Associate Product Owner for Core Banking at Blossom, you will support the roadmap and delivery of our core banking migration product a modern Node.js platform replacing a legacy Java system used by Credit Unions across the U.S. You'll work closely with engineers, QA, and U.S.-based business stakeholders to help translate banking workflows into clear, actionable user stories.

What You'll Do

• Participate daily in standups, sprint planning, and backlog refinement with developers, QA, and the Scrum Master.
• Work alongside experienced team members on the original core banking system to understand functional requirements during migration.
• Help coordinate rollout readiness across deployment environments (dev, QA, beta, production).
• Identify gaps and edge cases in financial transaction flows, escalating decisions when needed.
• Use AI tools to speed up documentation, analysis, and requirement drafting.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience in roles related to financial products, banking operations, fintech, or business analysis in a financial institution.
• Basic familiarity with banking or fintech concepts you don't need to be an expert, but terms like transactions, accounts, or payments shouldn't be foreign to you.
• Exposure to Agile environments (Scrum); you've participated in sprints, standups, or backlog work in some capacity.
• B2 English level minimum you'll communicate regularly with the U.S. team in writing and on video calls.

• Any exposure to core banking concepts: reconciliation, posting, reversals, account management.
• Experience working with or studying Credit Unions or community financial institutions.

What You'll Find Here

• A senior team that will mentor you on core banking and product ownership best practices.
• Real ownership from day one — your work ships to production and affects real Credit Union members.
• A cross-functional team distributed between Colombia and the U.S.
• An AI-forward culture that actively encourages using tools to work smarter, not harder.
